Peer reviews can help one to decide on apps to use or purchase. Unfortunately, reviews on the Autodesk App Store can be hard to come by. Apps that have thousand of downloads can have just a few reviews. Furthermore, the App Store's sort-by-rating function doesn't take the number of reviews into account.

Listed below for your convenience are the 5-star rated Revit-related add-ins on the App Store with at least four reviews, sorted by number of reviews, highest to lowest. Add-ins are also separated between free and paid.

This is our second biannual listing. This time out, we've added add-ins for the other applications on the App Store that we cover: Navisworks, BIM 360, Advance Steel, and Robot Structural Analysis.

The add-in that gained the most votes since our last listing was Enscape™ with 14 (for 38 total). For free add-ins, TransferSingle received 10 new votes (for 42 total). The add-in debuting with the most votes is DPR Model Slicer with 12.

And remember, reviews are important. Please take a few minutes to share your own experiences with apps on the App Store by submitting reviews!
